Pakistan's January 2026 warning said Afghanistan is becoming a hub for:

1. Trade disputes
2. Terrorists
3. Climate refugees
4. Investment

In January 2026, Pakistani officials formally warned the international community that Afghanistan is increasingly functioning as a hub for transnational terrorist networks. The warning highlighted the resurgence of groups including the TTP and ISIS-K, whose cross-border attacks have intensified since the Taliban takeover, undermining Pakistan’s internal security and regional counter-terrorism efforts.
